KALE CHIPS

This is an easy and delicious recipe to make crunchy kale chips that may just keep you grabbing for more. Kale is power-packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories and is also a good source of calcium.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Tear or cut off leaves from stems. Break leaves into bite-sized pieces. Make sure leaves are dry, otherwise they do not crisp as well. You may want to spin them dry with a salad spinner. Drizzle with olive oil. Use your fingers to coat both sides of leaves completely. Place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt (careful, a little goes a long way.) Bake for 15-20+ minutes. Watch carefully, as leaves will brown quickly. Yum!

  1. Thanks for sharing this recipe. My 3 year old insisted that he didn't like them while eating them the entire time. We got a kick out of watching him. My husband and I enjoyed them as well. Please share more recipes!

  3. For variety, you can also do this with spinach and swiss chard. Easy way to get in those green leafies! My husband, who thought he didn't like kale, loved loved loved them! Our dog enjoyed them too :)
